Notes on power system: For the last several sols, the freezers in the Science Dome have been running in order to preserve science samples. Due to this, the station power consumption has been significantly higher than it previously was, resulting in the generator being turned on earlier (as early as 7:00 pm on colder days, and 9:00 pm on warmer days) once the SOC reaches below 70%.
